About this position

PhD opportunity in Biological Sciences with Internship at the University of Edinburgh, based at King's Buildings campus. The programme sits within the School of Biological Sciences and offers research across major areas including ecology and evolution, molecular plant sciences, immunology and infection, stem cell research, and quantitative biology, biochemistry and biotechnology.

This is a PhD programme with full-time and part-time options. The internship element includes a Professional Internship for PGR Students (PIPS), typically up to 3 months and potentially up to 6 months with approval. Applications are welcome throughout the year, and students typically begin in October. The page notes that many applications are associated with funded scholarships.

Eligibility highlights: applicants should normally hold a UK 2:1 honours degree or international equivalent in a relevant subject, have some research experience, and show a good understanding of the proposed field. Relevant industrial experience may partially satisfy the requirement, and non-standard backgrounds are considered case by case. English language evidence is required, and two references must be submitted.

Funding: the page does not guarantee funding for all applicants, but it highlights School of Biological Sciences PhD funding, Edinburgh Doctoral College Scholarship, research scholarships for international students, and training-partnership funding routes such as EastBio and E5. There is no application fee for this programme.

How to apply: identify and contact potential supervisors in the School of Biological Sciences before applying. Discuss either your own research proposal or an advertised project, then submit the online application and choose the relevant award, duration, delivery mode, and start date. If applying for a funded opportunity, you may first have an informal meeting with your proposed supervisor before the formal scholarship recruitment process.
